I’m Dreaming of a Lighter Christmas

25 Dec I’m Dreaming of a Lighter Christmas

Studies show that during the two-month holiday season that starts with Halloween candy and ends with Christmas pudding, most of us will gain about a pound. “No big deal,” you say. “That’s easy to take off.” In theory, yes, but in reality, most of us never bother to shed it. A decade later you suddenly realize you’ve bumped up a size. I don’t want that to happen. That’s why this year I’m dreaming of a light Christmas!

Our family tradition is roast beef. In Christmases past, I would have served up a well-marbled prime rib with creamy horseradish sauce, followed by a big bowl of chocolate mousse for dessert.
